Blue Country came about from an idea to have a radio show that not only played blues, but looked at other types of roots music. The idea was to concentrate on independent artists and record companies. It first went to air in August 1996 in a 90 minute format playing mostly Bluegrass, Western Swing, and Trad. Country Blues. In late 1997 I included a feature album segment featuring a new independent release every week. As time goes by more genres of roots music are included in the format; Australian Blues 'n' Roots, Americana, Alt-Country, Rockabilly, Roots Rock, Southern Rock, Tex-Mex, Zydeco, Cajun, and Texas Music. Early in 1999 Blue Country was extended to 2 hours, the feature album segment takes up 1 hour of that time, the rest of the time is devoted to playing as much of the other genres of music included in the format.

From its inception in 1979 – well ahead of most of the current crop of specialist reissue labels operating throughout the world – Australia’s Raven Records flew the flag for high quality anthologies prepared by collectors for collectors. It was with the advent of the CD era that Raven evolved into one of the world's leading labels of its kind. Using, as a matter of policy, all 78 minutes available to us on a compact disc, and seeking out rarities and curios, we began issuing anthologies that were hailed as the absolute, definitive word on an artist's career. Expanding our embrace to take in the '70s, '80s and '90s as well as the '50s and '60s, Raven was soon compiling fantastic 'final word' packages of careers and specific periods. Our diverse catalogue includes Mickey Newbury Harlequin Melodies (The Complete RCA Recordings ... Plus), Rodney Crowell Small Worlds: The Crowell Collection 1978-1995, Sir Douglas Quintet 1+1+1=4 / Return of Doug Saldana
Tanya Tucker The Upper 48 Hits 1972-1997, Delbert McClinton Second Wind / Keeper of The Flame, Victim of Life's Circumstances / Genuine Cowhide and The Jealous Kind / Plain' From The Heart and Steven Fromholz The Anthology 1969-1991 – Come on Down to Texas.

(WARMIA) in 1985, with its main aim to develop and run annual awards recognising achievements within the music industry in WA. WAMI sustains a platform for local musicians to be heard and provides music industry related information/ advice to members of the industry. WAM represents the Western Australian contemporary music industry to governments at all levels as well as the wider community and develops policy on issues of importance (such as airplay, content, quotas and funding allocations) to musicians and other participants in the music business. On a national basis, WAM is a key member of The Australian Music Industry Network which gives us a voice on federal issues. WAM maintains substantial resources including music industry and media contact databases, produces a members' newsletter and regular e-news bulletins and provides information and referrals. Our website is a central and essential resource for anyone interested in or active in the local industry. We also run school incursion programs in conjunction with our Events program, and actively build networks across a variety of associated organisations. WAM runs two major events each year – The Kiss My WAMi Original Contemporary Music Festival, the biggest event of its kind in Australia, which incorporates over 100 individual events over two weeks in spring, and the WAM Song of the Year, a statewide search for WA’s best songwriting talent. As well, NBT WA, WA’s richest band competition, operates independently from our premises. WAM seeks to support our artists and music businesses regionally, nationally and internationally through programs aimed at supporting and developing touring and export opportunities. They are proactive in the development of a core infrastructure to better support Western Australian artists. WAM first received project funding from the state government in 1989, and in the early 90s the word rock was dropped from the title to give the organisation scope to take on a broader constituency.

EDiMA, the European Digital Media Association, is an alliance of digital media and technology companies who distribute audio and audio visual content on line. The main business of EDiMA revolves around two different areas, one being the formation of EU legislation and the other being the licensing regime in the EU for the distribution of content online. All activities undertaken by the association relate to either or both of these topics and include involvement in developments relating to copyright issues, music licensing, competition law, taxation of digital music sales and a range of other market and legislative issues which impact the way in which online content distributors do business in the EU. The overall mission of the association is to contribute to the creation of a healthy business and legal environment in the EU for new media companies. EDiMA has become a key player in negotiations and discussions with national and EU policy makers, collecting societies and music organizations in Europe. E-DiMA also works in close collaboration and joint forces with its US sister association DiMA (www.digmedia.org) on international policy and business issues that impact all of our global businesses. EDiMA is run by a Brussels based secretariat and has a Board, a licensing and a public policy committee.
